I'm very pleased to announce that the new book On the Verge of Photography: Imaging Beyond Representation is now out. If you flip to page 211 you'll find my chapter "Eyes of the Machine: the Role of Imaginative Processes in the Construction of Unseen Realities". I'm not biased or anything, but I think it has the best pictures of the whole book. How can you go past the first TV image of the Earth from space, or the look on Astronaut John Glenn's face as he hurtles around the Earth like 'spam in a can'?Aside from that, you'll find fascinating chapters by other Melbourne folk such as The University of Melbourne's Barbara Bolt and Monash University's Daniel Palmer. It's published by Birmingham City University and ARTicle Press and is edited by Daniel Rubenstien, Johnny Golding, and Andy Fisher.
